Quoted from s1500:I played that for the first time at MGC, and really enjoyed it. The DMD animations,etc are better than what Stern currently has, and it's a fun challenge to get the silverball past the goalie. Playfield's a bit green, but the gameplay is solid.
Pal of mine got it recently. Flipper Football is so misunderstood - what you need for it is 4-6 guys, pinheads or not, doesn't matter, and a lot of beer.
It's the best party pinball machine ever made. It's got the "playing in teams" thing right. It has short ball times, timed play and goes on to the next player after every goal or drain, leading to quick player rotation.
Also, soccer - I don't like it much, but this thing at least sounds like soccer. The cheers, the count down and the drums at half time. Can you imagine an WCS94 screaming "Burn that fucking goalie!" at you? This machine does.
Don't play it alone. Don't play it sober. Playing it alone and sober sucks.
